Bacon Jam

By Maverick19

Ingredients

• 1/4 lb slab bacon, finely diced (1/3 cup)
• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp brewed coffee
• 1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
• kosher salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Make the bacon jam in a medium skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the skillet.
2. Add the onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Return the bacon to the skillet along with the coffee, soy sauce, vinegar and both sugars.
3. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the liquid is reduced and the jam is thick and glossy, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Scrape the bacon jam into a small bowl and let cool to room temperature.
